Universiti Puna MalaysiaEnabling PowerBus™For Dynamic Dimming Powerline Communication on Remote MonitoringStreet lighting Intelligent Distribution Management (RMS-IDMTM)The Power line communication (PLC) technology offering high speed and low cost commu-nication over the powerhne opens up significant business opportunities for power utilitiesby reducing their investment costs and creating new revenue streams.In street fighting application, lighting systems can be upgraded via a range of approaches,from retrofitting lamps and ballasts to state-of-the-art controls such as occupancy sensorsand lighting management systems. Advanced controls can reduce lighting energy consumption by up to50% in existing street Iightings and buildings and at least 35% in new installation street lighting andbuildings. ()ne particular control technology has emerged that deserves special attention: the RMS-IDM''''Intelligent Distribution lighting Management System from Masers Digital Sdn Bhd will be a pioneer systemto be used in fIIlalaysiaacross the country. For years, lighting management systems have been restrictedto dividing a building into zones and automatically turning the lights in each zone on and off on a pro-grammabl.e schedule.The system chosen for this project wasf'1icrocontroller Dimming Ballast elec-tronic control gear, complete with Ma-sersBus power line modem, Photoelec-tric control (PECU), Vehicle DetectorInterface and the f'fasersBus Gatewayfor street lighting control system devel-oped by Masers Digital Sdn. Bhd. Pow-erBus PLC incorporates a high fre-quency microcontro!ler dimming elec-tronic ballast for high pressure sodiumlamps from 70W to 400W. This meansthat it can offer reductions in gearlosses, an improvement in power factorand longer lamp life.

Com-mand Instructions, which are programmable to custcmtze lighting to facility use, and feedback Informa-tion, which can be used for analysis and maintenance, are managed by RMS-IDM""'s software with localor remote Internet-based access; Cl single circuit up to multiple buildings can be managed by one laptopor workstation Pc. What is most revolutionary about RMS-IDM''', however, is that these benefits areachievable in such an economical and simple package relative to other lighting management systems. Nospecial ballasts or complex network of wiring are required, avoiding significant cost, compressing tnstatta-non time, simplifying commissioning and minimizing business disruption, RMS-IDM'" Is elegant In thelevel of capabltity delivered from 50 few components, resulting in an excellent cost-benefit ratio,In addition, PLC allows power utilities to save billing cost through value added services like street lightingapplication, remote monitoring and demand side management. Masers Diglt;tl's PLC technology openswindows of new business opportunities especially for power utilities. Using Its existing power grid infra-structure, cost of entry Into the communications and networking markets would be affordable, and rapidmarket penetration possible, This business leverage would bring power utilities increased revenue streamand profits from a totally different services market. As a result, RMS-lDr'1"" is ideal for gaining intelligentlighting control in street lighting as well as other new PLC application in internet access, teteccmmontca-lion and utilities,For funbcc information. kindly contact:A,,!>(lC.Prof. Dr, Norman MllfiunUPM Design Lahoratory'Department or Elccllical and Electronic EngineeringFaculty of EnginecringUniYcl>ifi Putra Mal,ly"ia4341)0 UPM.
